A Crush on Her Best Friend's Brother: Complete Box Set

by Sharon Cummin

  The girl had a huge smile on her face. She had on a pair of sweats and a t-shirt and looked pretty comfortable. Rachel heard Brad's voice getting closer.

  “Who's at the door?” he asked.

  When he walked up behind the pretty girl in his apartment, his eyes widened in shock.

  “Rachel,” he said.

  Rachel bit her lower lip, as she worked harder than she thought possible to hold back the tears. She took a deep breath before she said anything.

  “I'm sorry,” she whispered. “This was a huge mistake. Goodbye, Brad.”

  She turned around and walked down the sidewalk.

  “Rachel,” he yelled. “Wait.”

  She shook her head and couldn't take it anymore. Her feet moved faster, as she ran through the parking lot. She could hear footsteps behind her, but she didn't look back. When a hand reached out and grabbed her, she knew it was his. He swung her around to face him. She had tears pouring down her face by the bucket. There was no way she could have held it in. It sure didn't take long for him to move on, or maybe he had never stopped. Was he just the same Brad that left two years before?

  “Rachel,” he said.

  She was looking down and noticed that he didn't have any socks or shoes on. He put his hand under her chin and lifted her face. She thought she saw pain in his eyes, but she knew she was mistaken. That was probably just her hoping he actually cared.

  “Let me go, Brad,” she said. “I need to get out of here. I can't do this. It was a mistake. I should have known better. I can't believe I was that stupid to believe you gave a shit about me.”

  “Are you serious?” he snapped.

  “It sure didn't take you long,” she said, as she pointed to his apartment. “Or had you even stopped? Was anything you said to me true? I begged you not to play games with me. I told you how I felt about you. You're even worse than I ever thought you were. I can't fucking believe you.”

  She pulled her arm out of his grip.

  “It's not what you think,” he snapped.

  “It doesn't matter anyway. It's better this way. I thought you were upset that I hadn't gone home. I thought it bothered you that I wasn't talking to you as much. I felt bad every single day for pushing you away, but I knew it was what I needed to do. Now, I'm so glad I did it. As much as it hurts seeing her in your apartment, I'm glad I came. This was exactly what I needed to know that I made the right decision.”

  “I'm not with her,” he said. “Will you ever believe that I'm not the same guy I was in high school?”

  He held his hands on opposite sides of her face so he could look into her eyes.

  “I came here because I needed to tell you something before your sister beat me to it. My mom moved in with her boyfriend and is going to sell the house.”

  “You're not going to live across the street anymore?” he asked with a soft tone.

  “Does it really matter? That's not where you live. You live here. This is your life and where you belong. You'll be a senior next year. Then, you'll move on to whatever state you need to for football. You're going to have an amazing career, but it's not going to be anywhere near that house.”

  “I can't believe you came all this way to tell me that. That girl in there is my friend's girlfriend. I'm not with her. I know that I was mad that you blew me off after I waited three fucking long months to see you, but I would never cheat on you,” he said.

  She held up her hand to stop him from saying anything else. There was no way she was getting sucked into anything he was going to say.

  “I'm not going back to college next year,” she began, but he cut her off.

  “What? Why? Then you can come here and live with me while I finish school,” he said.

  She shook her head no. He slid his hands from her cheeks down her arms, and he took her hands in his. Just as his eyes moved down her body, she made a noise. He looked back up and into her eyes. She heard his phone buzz in his pocket. Rachel shook her head and pulled her hands from his.

  “I can't do this right now. I'm going to stay at a hotel in town. I need to think. I need to go,” she said, as she turned around.

  She was thankful that her baby bump wasn't super huge and that she had avoided him noticing it. As she pulled her phone out to call a cab, she heard him mumble something.

  “Wait,” he snapped. “What is my sister talking about?”

  Oh shit, Rachel thought. She turned around slowly and looked at him. He held out his phone for her to read the message.

  Karen: I have to tell you something. If I do, you have to promise not to tell mom and dad. I promised Rachel I wouldn't tell anyone. I can't hold it in. I have to tell someone. It's driving me crazy.

  Rachel handed him back his phone and sighed. He stuck the phone into his pocket. It's now or never, she thought. If she didn't tell him, he would find out from his sister. She held her hands together in front on her, and his eyes looked down at them. His eyes lingered a little longer than they should have. She cleared her throat, and he looked back at her face.

  “Rachel,” he said, in a nervous tone.

  “I'm pregnant,” she said.

  He stepped toward her, but she took a step back.

  “I wanted to be the one to tell you. She showed up yesterday and noticed right away. I knew she was full of shit. She said I had a week before she said anything. The one person I knew she would tell anyway was you. That is the only reason I'm here. I was going to tell you. I just needed to figure out a way to do it. I need you to know that I don't expect a single thing from you. If you want to see the baby, you can whenever you want. I would never keep you from doing that. If you don't want to, that's fine as well. Whatever you want is fine. I'm going home when my classes are over. I'll stay with my mom and find an apartment. I've been saving money. I'm going to take a year off from college. I have it all figured out.”

  “You have it all figured out,” he said.

  She nodded her head.

  “I didn't do it on purpose. I hope you know that. It was that night on the couch. You never got a condom, and I was so nervous that I hadn't noticed either. I don't want you to feel obligated or anything. Finish college, have fun, and play pro ball. I would never stand in the way of your dreams. I plan on staying close to my mom. You can see the baby whenever you want. I understand that you'll be gone most of the year. I'm sure your parents are going to be furious, especially when your mom finds out that I'm the slut that bit your neck. They can see the baby anytime they want as well. I just want you to know that I love them like they are my own parents. Even if they don't want to talk to me, they can go through my mom. I hope you know that I would never try to ruin your life or do anything to hurt you. I will also let you know that I am super happy about this baby. I will always put him or her first in my life. I love this little one with all of my heart and will do everything I can to provide the best life I possibly can.”

  She took a deep breath and continued.

  “I want you to know that I don't regret that night. You are the man I dreamt a million times of being my first. I have been in love with you since I was thirteen. That sounds silly and childish, but it's true. There has never been anyone else for me. Sure, there were two years that I didn't like you very much, but I never stopped loving you. This baby is part of you. I never thought I could love someone else as much as I love you, but I was wrong. I know that we can't be together. You have a huge future and career ahead of you. I know you're going to be amazing, and I would never hold you back. I hope you know there was never anyone else at school. I pushed you away for you, not for me. I'm here for three nights. At some point in the next week, I need to tell my mom. Take some time to think about. I know it's a lot to take in. I really do. I'm glad you have people here to talk to. When you're ready, let me know how you want to tell your parents. That's your decision. I'm sure you'll want them to know the baby is yours. I'll wait to tell my mom until you decide. I don't want her to run over to your parents and say something. I want the best for y
ou, Brad. I hope you know that.”

  He stepped toward her and took her hands in his.

  “First of all, you will not be staying in a hotel. You will stay right here with me. It seems to me that you have figured everything out perfectly. Do you agree?” he asked.

  Rachel nodded her head.

  “You have been avoiding me the entire time because you are pregnant?” he asked.

  She nodded again.

  “I thought it was because you didn't want to be with me. I thought there was someone else,” he said.

  “I promise you there was nobody else.”

  “Is that what you want? Everything you just said,” he asked. “You want me to either have nothing to do with my child or float in and out when I'm in town?”

  “That's how it needs to be. I will not have you give up on your dreams,” she said.

  “What if you're my dreams?” he asked.

  She didn't answer him. He lifted her chin so she would look at him.

  “When's the baby due? Have you been to the doctor? Are you eating? Are you sleeping?” he asked.

  “The baby's due in August. I have been to the doctor twice. I eat, sleep, go to school, and work.”

  He took their connected hands and put them against her stomach.

  “Do you know if the baby is a boy or a girl?” he asked.

  “Not yet. I go in almost two weeks to find out.”

  “Have you felt movement yet?” he asked.

  “No,” she said. “I know this is a lot, Brad.”

  “We need to talk,” he said, as he pulled her with him to his apartment.

  He opened the door for her to walk in. When they stepped into the living room, she saw the girl that answered the door sitting on a guy's lap. There were three couples total. Brad really wasn't with anyone. He walked in behind her and introduced his friends to her. They all said hello. Brad asked them if they could leave. He said that he needed time with her. On the way out, one of the guys stopped and looked back at her.

  “I couldn't believe there was a woman who could nail this guy down. He talks about you all the time. Don't break his heart,” the guy said with a laugh as he walked out.

  Rachel sat down on the couch and waited for Brad. When he walked back into the room, he sat down next to her.

  “I hope that you don't think for one second that I wouldn't be there for my child. I also can't believe that you didn't tell me until my sister went to spill the beans. You don't want to be with me?” he asked.

  She moved closer and put her hands on his knees.

  “That's not it at all. I love you, Brad. I will always love you. I have never wanted to be with anyone the way I want to be with you. I've cried every night that I've pushed you away. It has been the hardest thing I have ever had to do. You have college to finish and a professional career ahead of you. It has nothing to do with not wanting to be with you.”

  “Don't you think I have the right to choose if I want to be with my family or traveling around for football?” he asked.

  “If you choose me and the baby over the career you have longed for your entire life, you would wake up one day to regret me. No matter if we are together or not, you will always have the baby. I know you would never have any regret there. I don't want to be with someone because of obligation.”

  “I already asked you to live with me this summer. When you said you weren't going to school next year, I asked you to live here. It has nothing to do with obligation, baby. I love you. When I left for school two and a half years ago, I thought I would be able to get you out of my mind. It didn't work. When I came home, you were never there. It tore be up inside. When I saw you at the door in November, I knew I would never go without you in my life again. That was when I decided that I was going to marry you one day. You are mine, Rachel. I'm not going to let you push me away. You should have told me right away about our baby. I would have been there for everything. I've already missed two appointments. I'm not missing another thing.”

  She shook her head no.

  “Don't shake your head at me, woman. I can't believe you. I have never told a woman I loved them before you. You're it for me. I love you. If you don't want to be with me because you don't love me, then I will let you go. If it's because there's someone else, I won't keep you here. I can't believe you would think I would turn my back on you. You are mine. What do I have to do to show you that I mean it? I'm going to be the best dad I can. This little one is going to be so taken care of and happy. I can't believe you're having my baby. The woman I love is having my baby. This is amazing.”

  He wrapped his arms around her and held her tight.

  “I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I wasn't sure what to think myself. I do love you. I just want you to be happy.”

  “I am happy. You make me happy. It was so hard not talking to you every night. I would think about you and wonder what you were doing. I haven't slept well in at least a month. We're having a baby. I'm so damn happy. My mom is going to freak out. She's going to be so excited. My sister might kill me though. Can you promise me something?”

  “What?” she asked.

  “That you'll always be honest with me. That we can throw out your plan and figure this out together.”

  “Are you sure? I want you to do what you want, not what you think you have to do,” she said.

  “I'm sure,” he said. “Your plan is awful. I'm not a part of it. Do you care about me?”

  “Brad,” she said with tears in her eyes. “I love you and care about you more than anyone except for this baby. I can't imagine my life without you in it. You have no idea how much I've missed talking to at night.”

  He pulled her hand so that she moved and was straddling his lap facing him.

  “I want us to figure it out together,” he said. “Will you stay with me tonight and drive with me to see our parents together tomorrow?”

  She shook her head yes.

  “As soon as I get done making love to my baby's momma, we can talk about our plan,” he said. “I've missed you so much.”

  Rachel laughed and put both of her hands on his cheeks and leaned in until their noses were touching.

  “I've missed you too,” she said with a smile. “Just being here and touching your face has me ready to come. You have no idea how hard the past three months have been. I just want to stay in this spot forever.”

  He put his hand on the back of her head and pulled her mouth to his, as he thrust his tongue into her mouth and took her breath away. She slid her hands into his hair and held him tight as she kissed him back. Their tongues both fought for control. That moment was hotter than any moment she'd had been with him. The thought of him being there for her brought tears to her eyes. He pulled back from their kiss.

  “Are you okay?” he asked.

  “I cry all the time. Just ignore it. I'm just so happy that you want to be with me. I can't explain it. Kiss me, Brad,” she whined.

  “I will always want to be with you,” he said, as he leaned back in and kissed her again.

  He sucked her bottom lip and pulled it through his teeth. She moaned into his mouth. Brad reached for the hem of her shirt and pulled. She lifted her arms as he pulled it over her head and left it just below her elbows.

  “Leave your arms up,” he commanded.

  She felt like her pussy was going to shoot fireworks just from his deep tone. Damn, she needed him bad. Her arms stayed up as he reached around and undid her bra. When he pulled it over her head and her breasts bounced out of it, he let out a growl from deep in his chest.

  “Fuck,” he gasped. “You are even more beautiful pregnant. I am going to spend the whole night sucking on your perfect nipples.”

  Her breasts were even with his mouth. He took one in each hand and squeezed them, as he put his face between them and kissed her soft skin. Tiny kisses led his way to her already pointy nipple. He took it into his mouth and swirled his tongue around it. She gasped and ground against him through their jeans. He was rock hard, and
she continued to rub against him. Once he showed equal attention to her other nipple, he pulled it through his teeth. She brought her hands down to the back of his head, arched her back, and pulled him against her.

  “You're killing me, Rachel,” he groaned. “If you only knew what you do to me. I feel like I'm going to explode, and I haven't even taken my clothes off yet.”

  She smiled as she looked down at him and ground her hips against him hard.

  “I have three months to make up for in three days,” he said. “I'm not sure you'll be able to get out of bed in the morning. I want to take you over and over in every room of this apartment.”

  She threw her shirt and bra off of her arms and reached down to undo the button on his pants. Then, she unzipped his zipper. Her hand went beneath the denim and into his boxers. He gasped when she grabbed his cock and slid her thumb over the tip. His head fell back on the couch as she slid her hand in even deeper and rubbed his length up and down with pressure. She felt the muscles in his legs tighten and slid down him to the floor.

  Rachel tugged his jeans, and he lifted his ass so she could pull them off with his boxers. She wrapped one hand around his cock and cupped his balls with the other.

  “I've missed you so much,” she said, as she leaned forward and licked the bead of liquid from his tip.

  His head was back and his eyes were closed. She stroked his entire length and fondled his balls. When she leaned in, she put her tongue flat against his base and slowly licked all the way to the top. She felt the groan vibrate through his entire body. It made her feel so good to be with him and see his reaction to being with her. She covered the tip of his cock and took him into her mouth one inch at a time until he touched the back of her throat. Rachel sucked his cock hard as she took him back out of her mouth. She continued to stroke and suck him. He looked down at her and smiled.
